Jody Watley Soul Train, Shalamar and Solo, Style

[DezMuse]

Thanks for producing this wonderful homage to a phenomenal artist and the quintessential renaissance woman who is Jody Watley! She is one of those women who effortlessly and seamlessly epitomizes the words "elegance", "style" and "eloquence" (for to hear her speak is nearly as sublime as listening to her sing). ;-)

SO beautiful, she could have just been a model and still would be world wide famous. I remember when i was a kid my dad made a comment about jody wately and my mom didnt talk to him for days. i didnt know who she was until i was a little older but i get it now. She is gorgeous. I mean like now still fine ass hell

[DONNIMETROPOLIS313]

its not even right to mention this without using Jeffery Daniels name in the title. and trust me, I love love loved Jodie Watley then and now. she has never done anything but make me proud of her multi faceted talents. She is an Icon. and yes im less than shamed to say that at least 2 of the women I dated got my attention first because they looked just like her....( at least im honest)

@DONNIMETROPOLIS313 The video description is accurate and as described. Jody Watley from Soul Train, Shalamar and Beyond contains a montage of countless style and music achievements spanning over three decades. The greater portion of the video includes trendsetting ad campaigns, fashion editorials, etc. not to mention photo's Pre-Soul Train from childhood from a girl with big dreams and goals - ending with a positive JW message. The electro soundtrack is also JW. It is right.

[DONNIMETROPOLIS313]

@jwatley1 its right because its "your" post. I only was giving my honest opinion. Please dont take offense. i overstand what youre saying i got that part before your paragraph. Like im saying, just doesnt seem right in my humble opinion regardless of hard personal feelings.

@DONNIMETROPOLIS313 It's sad when a person OVERSTAND and fail to UNDERSTAND. Maybe you should go to Mr. Danile's Youtube account and suggest HE place a style page on Youtube, and share his billing with Miss Watley...Maybe he'll OVERSTAND and fulfill your request, but, good luck pulling that one off!

[DONNIMETROPOLIS313]

@1973cleopatrajones OMG . im a fan of BOTH and maybe this division is a small microcosm of whats wrong with us in the first place, it truly not that serious.....

[1973cleopatrajones]

@DONNIMETROPOLIS313 what I find "not even right" is the incorrect spelling of Jody's name, let's start with that first! Second, why would Jeffrey's name share this spotlight? Miss Watley is sharing her historic past that included a host of co-stars, which would include Mr. Daniel,so if none of the other co-stars didn't share co-billing, why should Daniel receive special prevelige? After all, his appearance in this clips is as long as his appearance WAS in "GIVE MY REGUARD TO BROAD STREET!"

[2tonsolid]

[plutocycle]

The career of a true professional...talent, looks, discipline...and sizzle.

[BeautyinChaos1]

At 5:37 Jody looks like Naomi Campbell a little bit. Still beautiful nonetheless.

[trickywillet]

Author G D Grace says: Shalamar had a Chic about them that was ahead of it's time.... their look is timeless...

[mssquirrely]

Awesome Vid !! Jody and Jeffery were my two fav dancers on Soul Train.

Shalamar was the Bomb and really made an everlasting musical impact on me as a teen!! All the women were in love with the guys and wanted to dance and look like Jody....including me! lol ! Thks 4 all of your musical gems.

[speedoflite1]

what can i say -sashay, shante!!! ...she makes me feel, oh so real.

[Kedra70]

Work. Werk. WURK!!! Love you much!

[Joy77]

Wow this is amazing and brings back some memories especially of ST. Didn't Jody, Jeffrey & Gary Mumford perform Uptown Festival on ST? My auntie swears that she saw it. The fashion Jody wore is still relevant today. Innovator no doubt. Love this music so progressive. Big things still coming from this lady.

[TJay229]

The woman is FLAWLESS... What can u say?

[bikerider59]

Truly a classical lady, style, looks and wardrobe! Enjoyable memories and beautiful children.

[CarynRR]

Fab piece, beautiful artist & career! Kudos Ms. Watley!

[vitaboy64]

That arrangement at the begining of this is the shi... I heard a version at the end of a now deleted post from your Cole Hann gig. I would love to buy a release with vocals like only you can do. Plus that old rehearsal clip of "Precious Love". the arrangement was fierce.

[jwatley1]

@vitaboy64 The intro "A Night To Remember" is an arrangement (with a sample from an electronic album fav) I've used as an intro to my live concerts a few times (sometimes I do spoken word over it or the hook to the song) - I like keeping my shows a blend of classic sounds and contemporary / underground electronic vibes as well. I've been working on 'Chameleon' all new material and have no further plans for makeovers. Thanks for really listening and supporting the music!

[vitaboy64]

@jwatley1 OHHHHH!!!! How could I have missed that. My fan card should be snatched for missing that. (Please don't) Thanks for the reply. Looking forward to "Chameleon"

[PaulaDDS]

Great pics. Thx 4 sharing!

[omightyisis]

Yesss, Queen of All That's Fabulous! It's still a thrill, Ms. Jody ~

[jwatley1]

@omightyisis Much appreciated and humbling. Thanks so much!!

[jilberia86]

[amaruonline]

They say "beauty fades..." I beg to differ ;) And what about at 6.21 with the great Bananarama ;) And eith the president, mrs. Clinton, George Michael... Now miss J., you know I love your work, the last line in this video is also something I love. So true!

[CharliGirl868]

Jody, I saw the Soul Train special on BET last weekend and I couldn't stop laughing at the part where you talked about how you convinced Howard to wear the scarf as revenge. I couldn't stop laughing cause that scarf wasn't even working. ROFL!!!

[meialuadj]
